3.2. Off-campus water conservation support

MATE’s Department of Water Management and Climate Adaptation supports water conservation off campus 

MATE’s Department of Water Management and Climate Adaptation actively encourages students to apply their water-management knowledge within their local communities. Beyond teaching and research, the department aims to provide off-campus support for water conservation initiatives. Students enrolled in courses such as Agrometeorology and Water Management, Water Treatment and Utilization, Water Management, Water Quality, and Water Resources Engineering are motivated to share their skills and expertise outside the university. Particular emphasis is placed on working with communities in the watershed of the Rákos Stream, located near the Szent István Campus. To support public access to environmental information, the department makes data from its meteorological station in Gödöllő openly available and is developing a local soil-moisture estimation system to offer timely irrigation guidance based on ongoing research.
